Asa Pond Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 After a very stressful (AND SUCCESSFUL - HELL YEAH THIS ASSASSIN IS GOING TO LAW SCHOOL) last challenge, I'm going to try to keep this one simple and relatively easy to follow.

Asa Pond Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Went to Krav Maga yesterday and had to cancel my contract starting in August. It was bittersweet because I'm going to miss the gym a ton but it also makes it real! I'm leaving in 60 days! Then I got home, made a smoothie with a ton of spinach which was important because I'm pretty sure the only thing keeping me from getting scurvy over the weekend was the orange juice in my mimosa. (Celebrating - ya feel?) Did a bit of headstand work in order to test my core strength for handstands and.... it wasn't great. I'm getting more comfortable kicking up into a headstand but I don't have the core strength to get off the wall. Then I did a couple wall walk holds. Not a ton of time practicing but I'm going more for a little bit every day rather than a couple long sessions per week. Was supposed to go to spin this morning but I didn't. Going to check out (hopefully) my mother's (and my!) new house this afternoon so no workout today. Tuesday: House Viewing Wednesday: Spin Class 5:30am, Coworker Happy Hour Thursday: Krav Maga Friday: Spin Saturday: Home for the long weekend? 3 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt.

Asa Pond Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Spoiler Just had a super fun meeting with my lovely bosses where I've been put on (unofficial) probation for ridiculously stupid stuff. God - the atmosphere here is so incredibly toxic and I am 100% ready to GTFO. I can't wait to tell them that I'm peacing out and headed off to be a badass lawyer. I just wish I could do it earlier rather than later. BUT I finally stood up for myself and said my piece and told them that I've had 0 mentoring, I've been learning through only making mistakes, and that it's creating a hostile environment. One of them was pretty receptive but the other was still super defensive and tried to blame the fact that he hasn't been a good boss on me. So tonight's workout is going to be Krav because I need to punch something and that will feel great. Also going to get handstand work in, and a flexibility sesh. ^^^ Me leaving this job 4 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt. Link to comment

Asa Pond Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Went to Krav Maga yesterday but my partner was very new and not able to hold the pads right or do a lot of the moves. It was not what I needed although I used to opportunity to really work on form since I couldn't work on power. Then ended up going to the gym for a weight lifting chest sesh. I was super self-conscious since it was crawling with dude bros but I managed to shove my way in and grab the benches/weights/machines that I needed. It felt great and was exactly what I needed. Workout under the spoiler - nothing impressive weight wise, but I'm not disappointed as it was a solid workout overall.

Asa Pond Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Didn't end up going anywhere for the weekend which is good because I need to get stuff done around my own place and the long weekend is the perfect time to do it. Yesterday wasn't as productive as I'd like but I did get my new bullet journal started. It's so pretty! Washi tape definitely helps add some flare when you have no artistic skills like me. I'm trying to come up with a good organizational/planner system prior to starting school so I'm confident in what I'm doing. I also got a solid back workout in. I'm in a weight lifting phase again (the Shiny! part of my assassin is coming through). Workout under the spoiler: Spoiler Warmup: 10 min stair climber lvl 6 3 x 15 crunches Workout: Deadlifts - 2x5x45 2x5x65 2x5x85 Cable Pull Down 15x27.5 3x15x20 DB Single Arm Row 5x20 15x10 5x20 15x10 5x20 Dual Pulley Row 4x15x25 Smith Upright Row 15x20 5x30 15x20 5x30 15x20 Machine Rear Fly 15x15 3x15x20 Pullups to failure (55lbs assist)/Cable Row SuperSet 6/15x20 4/15x20 4/15x12.5 3/15x12.5 Hyperextensions 4x20 The gym was super quiet because of the holiday and it was awesome not having to fight for the weights or machines I needed. It took me about 2 hours to get done, but I felt that comfortable warn out feeling when I was done that you can't get any other way then solid physical work. I'm finally getting a hang of making handstand work a habit. I'm trying less to do dedicated handstand work and more of a little bit everyday. Once I make a habit out of getting upside down - then I can focus on increasing the length of time I'm working on it. (In practice - this means that if I do a crow and a headstand - I'm counting it as a handstand session. I have to do at least 2 drills, but I don't have to do a specific amount of time or anything.) I'm putting down my tasks for today/tomorrow here so that I have another place to cross them off when I'm done: Laundry Clean out fridge Dishes and Dishwasher Recycling/Trash Start going through clothes Some work for work Grocery Shop Read Meditate Stretch Handstand Drills MAYBE: Workout either today or tomorrow (Prefer both but....) 3 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt.
